Sling TV Channel List

Sling TV is based on a simple idea that cord cutters and disgruntled cable subscribers have been advocating for a really long time: a la carte channel subscriptions. It's a simple concept: many of us don't use all of the 200 or more channels that cable companies insist on bundling together. And since we only want a few of them, why should we pay for all of them? We should be allowed to pick and choose the channels we want, and pay only for what we're actually using. That's why we created this Sling TV channel list – to help you pick out your ideal channels, and scrap the others!

Sling TV isn't perfect (check out our review of Sling TV to see why), but it's a great step towards the ideal of complete la carte channel subscriptions. Sling TV offers a range of base packages and add-on packages to help you replace cable on a budget. The only trick is choosing the right packages – and we're here to help you do that. This is our Sling TV channel list, complete with descriptions of the channels and a comparison of what's available with each of Sling TV's three base packages.
